if obama is reelected, president obama, and democrats hold on to the senate, there is no way you can repeal every syllable obamacare. what then? >> it will be very difficult if that happens. that is why it is important that we defeat barack obama that we defeat barack obama in november and that we retire harry reid in november. one of the biggest differences between my opponent and me would be the very first vote mr. sadler would cast if he were elected, which would be to vote for harry reid to be majority leader. harry reid has been the most irresponsible majority leader we have ever seen. the last three years, under his leadership, the senate has not passed a budget. >> i have to respond to this. i do not know who i would vote for majority leader, but we know who you not vote for, john cornyn. if the republicans gain control of the senate -- you have said twice, on two occasions, you would not guarantee you would support john cornyn. that is because your money comes from jim demint. if you are interested texas, how could do not support our senior senator majority leader in the aban

i think the same for president obama. i think republicans are underestimating how strong obama will be if he is reelected. hold allhink he could the republicans against an obama version of a budget deal. i think that have more leverage over members are around campaign finance issues and other things. i think obama -- even if the democrats don't control all of congress, he would have some leverage to go around leadership. people say bipartisanship, but there are two forms of bipartisanship. one is the leadership negotiant and the other is -- the premise of both of those is, there has to be personal relationships to develop before that can occur. the ambassador pointed out that governor romney will have those talents. i think president obama knows he has them, he will just have to now demonstrate the more. >> so the reality is this, we are a few short weeks away from the real work starting. be a moment ofl real clarity after the election. we will all wake up the next morning and some will be happy and some will be sad. then

obama. every county in this district for the last four months has seen its unemployment go up. the state of illinois today saw its unemployment go from 8.7% to 91%. the illinois has the highest foreclosure rate in the nation. we just saw in franklin county another company shutting down, we see pat quinn, the governor of the state, a strong ally of my ally mr. enyart, shutting down the facilities of southern illinois so that he can transfer those jobs to cook county. we need an election official that will stand up for all of southern illinois, the entire congressional district, and will represent the policies and plans we need to put the ball back to work. i haven't talked the talk about these issues. we did not talk about tax credits for companies or individuals. we talk about real solutions for the real problem we're facing because the people in southern illinois cursed for answers and we are delivering them.
